A blog about my life with rheumatoid arthritis and all that goes along with it. The ups and downs. The highs and lows. The laughter and the tears. Sounds so dramatic, doesn't it?!

SORE NECK

I had physical therapy on my neck yesterday. The PT did some exercises and some massage and some other stuff. It didn't hurt yesterday but, oh, this morning! It is killing me on the left side. Like a knife is sticking in the left side of my neck. I actually took one of my back muscle relaxers because it hurt so much. Then I took a nap because I was so tired. Those muscle relaxers relax me so well.

The PT was so easy with me this time since last week I was really sore too. I am just not sure if there is anything she can do to make me feel better. I did change pillows to see if that does anything. I also have some new exercises to do once the pain subsides.

About Me

WELCOME!
I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis almost 20 years ago but I know I have had it for longer. I was lucky that once the symptoms became evident, I was diagnosed quickly and put on medication quickly. I know that makes me one of the lucky few. I have a diagnosis of Adrienne's Disease which consists of Rheumatoid Arthritis, Sjogren's Syndrome, Pernicious Anemia, Raynaud's Disease, and Interstitial Cystitis.
I live with my partner (Brenda), two dogs (Happi and Lucky) and bird (Sunshine). We call Happi the "Big Dog" and Lucky the "little dog".
I am fortunate to work for myself as a consultant after working for many years at "regular" jobs.
This blog was created to tell my story and to help others understand and learn more about the world of RA/chronic autoimmune diseases. It will be a place of education, advocacy, storytelling and humor. I know I could not get through this without lots of laughter! They say it is the best medicine (after my Enbrel, Prednisone, and Topomax)!
